A study on the composite power line communication network

Abstract

The existing Power Line can be used as Communication Medium by using Power Line Communication (PLC). PLC can be adopted as a main Communication Means, and other wired/wireless technologies can be adopted as second means. In order to this, the Medium Voltage PLC has to be used as a long distance Communication Network. In our study, the Routing Algorithm is also fit for PLC on the basis of Power Distribution Line. It is designed more useful in case of accidents when roundabout Routes are requested. It makes Power Distribution Network more efficient as Communication Network. In case of accidents, we suggest the Intelligent Composite Communication System for optimal roundabout routes in Communication Network, and verify its performance and reliability in the real Test Field. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
